Layoffs at NetDevil :(
polycounter lvl 8
Sorry to the people there who were laid off today.. Other polycounters who were not affected, find these people jobs immediately! Still waiting for details on how many were laid off, but I know one or two polycounters were affected.
Good luck guys! You should all land on your feet..

Drew, I hope you and the others displaced by this find something new as fast as possible.
Good luck guys!
Sorry to hear that hope you land on your feet. I need to check if Evan Williams was affected
a friend on the lego team was laid off today
Based on some of the other google results, it sounds like Netdevils is near death.

Another studio closes, sh!t.
Low Odor and Cody, if you guys are going to GDC hit me up and lets have a beer, first round is on me.
Wait a minute, so lego bought the dev team that made Lego Universe then laid them off? While those that weren't part of that team continue working on fortune online at whats left of Netdevil?
This is bizarre.
Good luck guys! It sounds like a bad situation and I hope you land something awesome quick.
The thing that sticks out in my head Marc Hansen (LEGO guy in charge of LU) saying repeatedly at company meetings "WE are not like other video game companies. We will not lay you off, we will not lock you out."
hahahaha.
What a half assed joke.
*edit*
Also, good thing they paid so little so that all of those talented people are stuck in Colorado. Where there is no more industry to speak of.

Good luck guys, I know how much layoffs suck first hand.
Hope everyone lands on there feet
I wonder what this means for jumpgate, was looking forward to it

WOOT!
I'm sure it was the only way they could be switched to Lego since they were Netdevil employees.
If this is the case then kudos to Lego as it sounds like they want the Lego Universe to go on and just wanted the control over it.
eidt: and that is just for the people that were working on the LU project I believe...it seems Gazillion is moving my old team to a new office
Fucking PR people need to be shot
So many people rolled their eyes at that point that you could feel the room move. There was lots of hope, but I think we all realized at that point that LEGO really had no clue what was going on.
I know it's not really productive to point fingers.
It won't be the same without you guys. So many good friends gone. I hope everyone lands on their feet soon
